I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 41 [Curse]

Comments are an important means of operation, not only in film and television, but also in catering, games... other aspects are the same.

A spectator came to the theater and took a look at the movie that was showing on the mobile ticketing platform.

He will first find the category he is interested in,
Then, he would browse through the cast list, looking for any familiar actors,
Finally, he would flip through the comment section to see what other viewers had said about the film.

This is often the case and applies to a variety of web platforms.

If the audience has safely gone through the first two links, found a suitable movie, and then saw the comment area full of praise, and filtered the bad reviews to enter, it is all irrelevant content, then there is a high probability that they will choose to buy tickets.

But if it's a horror movie, the bad reviews overwhelm the good ones, and all the people who click on it are scolding the movie for being too hellish and scary, then these bad reviews will become bonus points instead.

"However, Assistant Director Zhang."

Lu Zhengyi didn't stand up, and turned to look at Zhang Yu behind him, "It's not impossible for the bad reviews you mentioned to happen."

He just sat there when he suddenly interjected.

"Ok?"

Zhang Yu was a little puzzled.

What bad review?
Speaking of horror movies, bad reviews that aren't scary at all?

But soon, he seemed to understand something.

"If there is, it is really beyond my expectations."

Zhang Yu's tone was full of expectation.

"If that happens, how about continuing to be my assistant director for the next play?"

Lu Zhengyi asked.

It is not easy to pick a capable and psychologically good assistant director.

Although Zhang Yu has some small flaws, he is greasy and lustful.

But it's all solvable.

"Even if the requirements are not met, I will join."

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Yu agreed.

Even, willing to join directly.

Although, he used to look down on Lu Zhengyi very much.

But that was once.

Apart from not being a good director, Lu Zhengyi did other things pretty well.

In particular, he himself is special.

Can see ghosts, can cast ghosts.

Zhang Yu is almost 50 years old now, and this is the first time he has seen such a strange person.

It doesn't matter how the cooperation in this aspect of the film will be in the future.

Anyway, he wanted to get closer to Lu Zhengyi.

In case you, or your family members, or future generations encounter some dirty things in the future, you can't even find someone who can solve them.

……

At noon the next day,
Some members of the crew left Beicheng one after another and went back to their homes.
As Lu Zhengyi expected, the premiere box office of "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" was mediocre.

Among several movies in the same period, it was at the end.

However, they didn't pay attention to this film for the time being.

"This is the script of the new movie, please take a look."

Lu Zhengyi distributed copies of pre-printed scripts to Zhang Yu, Chang Zhengwei, Yu Li, and Zhang Yuming, "The name of the new movie is "Curse", and the content of the lecture is about Eastern religions, evil gods, and evil spirits."

"Because the content involved includes some folk cultures such as ghost boys and wandering gods, I plan to set the shooting location in Fucheng or Taicheng, cities that have relatively well-preserved folk culture."

"As for the actors, tentatively, we need a female lead, a group of supporting male actors, and a small actor."

He briefly explained his plans for a new movie.

Although, only Assistant Director Zhang, Chang Zhengwei, Yu Li, and Zhang Yuming were left behind.

But there are far more than these four people who are willing to join their new crew.

The group of people who participated in the final filming, no matter what the reason was, they were willing to cooperate with me in another film.

It's just that, if the new movie is in the preparatory stage, they, as photographers, prop masters... have nothing to help for the time being, so Lu Zhengyi let them leave first.

"It feels perfect."

Zhang Yu flipped through the script in his hand, "No.1 is a shooting technique called handheld camera, to be honest, it's very bold."

"Some of the folklore knowledge involved here, from the script, is also very complete."

"From the perspective of the script, this film is much better than the old corpse in the mountain village."

"The plot is not so monotonous, and these knowledge, which are closely related to the lives of the public, can easily make people feel substituting."

"but……"

He watched and commented.

But as he spoke, the voice became lower and lower.

Beside, several actors were also silent.

After a while, Zhang Yu raised his head, "Director Lu, what's written here shouldn't be true, right?"

His tone was very serious, "I mean, in reality, there shouldn't be evil gods or curses, right?"

Just now, at first glance, the script was well written.

After being so busy these few months, Lu Zhengyi still has time to collect the script, and it is such a good script, he admires it very much.

But if you think about it carefully, it's broken!

This Lu Zhengyi is not a real director!
This guy is capable of supernatural powers and can subdue demons and slay demons!
So what's on the script...

"Don't worry, it's not true." Lu Zhengyi waved his hand, "As I said, with the popularization of some scientific knowledge in modern society, many monsters and ghosts have disappeared, and it is not easy to produce them."

He didn't explain any more, just reassured them.

"But this book is really unlucky."

Regardless of whether what Lu Zhengyi said is true or not, based on his fierce performance in front of him, Zhang Yu heaved a sigh of relief and put down the script, "Create a blockbuster curse, or the No. 1 point-of-view shooting. I can already predict that I will be scolded miserably."

"Of course, it's after the shoot."

"But I can consider this point, and the State Administration of Film and Television can definitely also consider it, so how should we file it?"

According to the grading system of film and television in the Tang Dynasty, the restriction level of the curse is much higher than that of the old corpse in the mountain village.

"And it's hard to find an actor for this kid."

Chang Zhengwei continued Zhang Yu's words, "Our crew is so special, if we really want to find a young actor, can her parents have the right to know?"

"If it was possible, I think most parents would not want their children to join a crew like ours."

"And if you can't, then I think the contract will be difficult to sign."

Lu Zhengyi nodded and wrote down the two questions of 'record' and 'little actor' in his notebook.

"That... I will mention it weakly."

As the only girl, Yu Li will undoubtedly be the heroine of this movie, "Director Lu, my image doesn't seem to fit a mother who has already given birth."

She is a fresh graduate, she looks pure and lovely.

Even if, no matter how good the make-up lady's skills are, she will have to act as a mother...

"...All right, this is also a problem."

Lu Zhengyi nodded and added this, "If the image and performance are really inappropriate at that time, I may change the actor, and I have to tell you in advance."

"clear."

Yu Li does not feel lost because she is about to be 'abandoned'.

"There is also the aspect of props..."

Zhang Yu opened his mouth, just about to say something.

Lu Zhengyi's phone rang.

"I'll take a call."

Glancing at the name of 'Zhang Xueming' on the phone, he stood up and said something, then turned and walked out of the house.

"Congratulations, Director Lu, your performance in this film has exceeded all of our expectations."

As soon as the phone was answered, Zhang Xueming's words of congratulations rang out.
